Wang Fan then spoke: "900 gold coins."
The burly man glared at Wang Fan and shouted, "1000 gold coins!"
Wang Fan calmly replied, "1100 gold coins."
The burly man seemed hesitant, but still raised the price: "1300 gold coins!"
Wang Fan shouted, "1500 gold coins!"
The crowd erupted in uproar, the burly man's face turned grim, and he ultimately gave up the bidding.
Just as Wang Fan thought he had successfully bid for the "Shaking Mountain Halberd Technique" and was secretly pleased.
Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out: "2000 gold coins."
Everyone turned to look, and saw a man in a blue robe with an extraordinary air sitting calmly in the VIP section.
People started whispering among themselves.
"It's actually the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion. It seems this skill book is definitely his."
"Yes, who would dare to steal anything from Qingfeng Pavilion?"
Wang Fan showed no fear when he heard these comments.
He straightened his back and looked firmly at the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion.
He shouted, "2500 gold coins!"
The scene fell silent. The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Fan, seemingly surprised by Wang Fan's persistence.
"3000 gold coins." The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion made another bid, his voice still calm, but carrying an undeniable aura.
Wang Fan thought to himself, "Comparing wealth to mine? Whether it's strength or money, I'm not afraid! So what if you're the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion? I'm determined to get this skill book."
He raised his voice again: "3500 gold coins!"
This shout silenced the entire auction house instantly, and everyone's attention was focused on Wang Fan and the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion. He had not expected that Wang Fan would dare to compete with him so persistently.
He slowly stood up, staring intently at Wang Fan, and said coldly, "Boy, do you know the consequences of going against me?"
Wang Fan showed no sign of backing down and replied, "In this auction house, the highest bidder wins. There's no question of opposing each other."
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion's face darkened, and he said, "Boy, don't be too arrogant! Last time, there was a guy named Ling Yun who was just as ignorant as you. Now he's been beaten so badly that he's running away with his tail between his legs."
Wang Fan was taken aback, a question forming in his mind: Wasn't Ling Yun doing quite well? How could he have been defeated by this person so quickly?
But the thought only flashed through his mind, and Wang Fan quickly regained his composure.
He raised his head, looked directly at the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion, and said, "That's him, not me! I'm taking this skill book today!"
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion laughed in fury: "Fine, you have guts! We'll see! 4000 gold coins!"
Wang Fan remained calm, knowing that he had enough money to cope with the situation.
After all, he had over 50 million gold coins, more than everyone else present combined.
"4500 gold coins!" Wang Fan shouted without hesitation.
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion's eyes grew even more sinister: "5000 gold coins!"
Wang Fan smiled slightly: "5001 gold coins!"
At this moment, everyone around gasped in astonishment at Wang Fan's wealth and boldness.
"Where did this kid get the audacity to challenge the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion like this! And it's only for one more gold coin! He's clearly provoking us on purpose!" someone whispered.
"His calm demeanor reminds me of someone," another person said.
"You mean the one who fought with Ling Yun for the pet egg last time?" a chubby man asked after thinking for a moment.
"That's right! It's that guy! Looks like there's going to be a good show!" the man replied.
"Who cares? This auction was really exciting. I haven't seen such a thrilling scene at an auction house in a long time," a young man said excitedly.
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion grew increasingly grim, staring intently at Wang Fan.
Wang Fan, however, seemed oblivious to the strangeness around him and remained standing there calmly.
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead: "5500 gold coins!"
Wang Fan remained relaxed and slowly said, "5501 gold coins."
The leader of Qingfeng Pavilion was furious: "You're deliberately going against me!"
Wang Fan shrugged: "It's an auction, the highest bidder wins. I'm just offering what I can afford."
Just as the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion was about to raise the price, his attendant whispered a few words in his ear.
His expression changed, and he finally snorted coldly, "Consider yourself lucky, kid. You can have this skill book!"
Wang Fan smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, but this is not just luck."
Wang Fan appeared indifferent to the threat posed by the leader of the Qingfeng Pavilion.
After bidding for a while longer, Wang Fan realized there weren't any good items, so he left the auction house.
Xiao Meng ran over at this moment, asking expectantly, "Brother, did you get any good photos?"
Wang Fan smiled, took out the electric grid emitting arcs from his system backpack, and said, "Take a look at this, it should be useful against bee swarms."
Xiao Meng's eyes lit up as she carefully examined the electric grid: "Wow, that's great! This will make dealing with the bee swarm much easier!"
Just then, Su Yalin called out, "Brother Wang Fan, Sister Xiaomeng, dinner's ready!"
Wang Fan responded and put away the electric fence. He then said to Xiao Meng, "Let's go eat first, and we'll discuss it after we finish eating."
The two approached the dining table, only to find the atmosphere somewhat strange. Everyone was silent, their expressions grave.
Wang Fan asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What's going on with everyone?"
Hua Nianci spoke with a serious expression, "Wang Fan, several of us sisters have made breakthroughs in our cultivation and would like to compare ourselves with you to see who is more powerful."
Wang Fan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Alright, let's have a spar! But let me eat first! I've been starving all day!"
Upon hearing this, the women all served Wang Fan food, all of which were highly nutritious.
"Wang Fan, eat more of this grilled kidney. It's good for your kidneys and will benefit you."
"And this plate of stir-fried eggs with chives is great for nourishing the kidneys."
"Try this black chicken and ginseng soup; it will give you more energy."
Looking at the mountain of food piled up in front of him, Wang Fan suddenly realized and said, "Good, good, so that's what you were planning."
The women covered their mouths and chuckled. Hua Nianci said, "No, we're just doing this for your own good."
Wang Fan glanced at them and said, "Hmph, it seems you don't trust me. The outcome of our sparring later is uncertain!"
Hua Nianci raised an eyebrow slightly, her gentle demeanor tinged with a hint of provocation: "Wang Fan, don't speak too confidently!"
Su Yaqi crossed her arms and said with a smile, "That's right, Wang Fan, don't be stubborn, or you'll lose badly."
Qin Xiaoxuan swung her long legs and said, "Wang Fan, it's not certain that you can withstand a few of my moves."
